Golden Axe 3 and Streets of Rage 3 are now on iTunes

Ever wanted to play the third instalments of your favourite Sega beat em ups on your iPhone but haven’t been able to? Well now the time has come when you can finally do that, you mad bastard! The games are about $3 each and are the exact same games, with some touch controls made specifically for iPods.

You can get Streets of Rage 3 here and Golden Axe 3 here. So how about that? Good news for all you beat em up fans (as long as you like touch controls, which can get irritating at times granted). With this all games from both series are now available on the app store. But what other games would you like to see make their way to your iThing? Let me know in the comments, why don’t you?

I like the idea of having these games on the go, and I’ve bought my fair share of them, but I think I’m done with buying any action games for the iPhone. Virtual buttons and controls just don’t work. The screen is small enough as it is and then your fingers take up the bottom third where a lot of action takes place. That and I find it very tough to make precise moves with it. The only games that have worked so far are turn-based RPGs. I’ve really loved playing Shining Force and Phantasy Star II on the system, hopefully we can see more of that!
